By the mid-1930's, in the Urals, a scientific-pedagogical geophysical school was formed, the basis of which was the Department of Geophysics of the Sverdlovsk Mining Institute. The department has been developed significantly from the point of view of science and personnel during the Great Patriotic War: its staff has defended seven Ph.D. theses and one doctorate thesis; in 1942 and 1945, the members of the department were counterparts for the Stalin Prize. Therefore, it is natural that in September 1951, a geophysical faculty was formed on the basis of the department. The first dean of the faculty was the head of the department of geophysics, a gifted apprentice of P.K. Sobolevsky, N. A. Ivanov.

Keywords: department of geophysics during the Great Patriotic War, the formation of the geophysical faculty, the first dean of the faculty N. A. Ivanov.
